LOCKSS

LOCKSS, which stands for "Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe," is a digital preservation system designed to ensure that important digital content, like academic articles or historical records, remains accessible over time. It works by spreading multiple copies of the same material across different locations. These distributed copies safeguard against loss due to technical failures, natural disasters, or other unforeseen events. By enabling institutions and organizations to keep their own copies, LOCKSS helps preserve valuable information for future generations, maintaining the integrity and availability of cultural and scholarly resources.
